A fascinating variety of marine life is
revealed in the Alcan Pavilion and the Alcan Dolphin Pool which together
form the Montreal Aquarium. The buildings, located only a few steps from
La Ronde station of the Expo-Express, are harmoniously set in the
Amusement Area of the Ile Sainte-Hélèn on the banks of Dolphin
Lake.

These structures are two of the few buildings on the
site which will remain open after Expo 67 closes. The Aluminum Company of
Canada., principal subsidiary of Alcan Aluminum Ltd., built the project as
a joint and permanent venture with the City of Montreal.

Immediately upon entering the Alcan Pavilion the
visitor faces a colony of penguins in Antarctic conditions. The next
spectacle is one of the most outstanding collections of salt water and
fresh water life in North America. There are minute fish weighing less
than one ounce and others ranging up to enormous 350 pound groupers. The
south-sea coral reef exhibit is bathed in a fairyland of color.

The Alcan Dolphin Pool features a troupe of trained
dolphins performing acrobatic feats above and below the water.
